The most important aspect of the Transgender Information and Empowerment Summit (TIES) is community. To us, community means trust, fellowship, dignity, and a shared respect for people who are transgender and gender diverse. The summit is an opportunity to build that community – to learn from and with each other in a safe and empowering space. TIES offers a variety of information that is designed specifically to serve the interests and needs of transgender individuals, partners, parents, youth, and allies. In addition, this year’s exciting workshops will offer new and returning attendees a chance to establish connections and expand their knowledge base.
